A Rapist Allowed to Plead to Com

iDgs.
Thomas Ashcraft, arrested for attempt
ing to rape E. G. KOhn's seven year old
little girl on a public highway last Mon
day night, was permitted by States At
torney Entrikin, to plead guilty to a
charge of assault before Judge Adams
this morning. and the court imposed the
extent of the law under the circumstances
800 and costs. This action on the
part of the states attorney, or any others
who were instrumental in bringing it
about, merits the most pronounced dis
approval. 1t is an outrage upon public
morals and safety, and dangerous
piece of tsmpering with justice such as
encourage riot and mob law. There was
pretty good proof in the person of Garvin
who caught the man Ashcraft. in the suspic-
ious position, in the little girl herself, and
in DR.. Craig who made the examination
afterward. DR.. Craig says he found lrrita-
ton in the parts complained of by the
girl as having been tempered with by her
assailant, though he cannot say as to
what caused it. Entrikin's excuse in
letting Ashcraft-who by the way gives
the fictitious name of Powers--is that
Mr. Kohn is going to move to California
and would not be here for the prosecu-
ton in the circuit court The county
should see to getting Mr.. Kohn and bis
girl back when they are to appear in such
important proceedings. The careless
methods adopted by our states attorney
set a bad precedent, to say the least

Suicide OF a Son of Chief Justice Beasiey.
Mercer Beasley, Jr., Prosecuting At.
torney of Mercer county aud son of
Mercer Beasley, Chief Justice of the New
Jersey Supreme Court, shot himself in
the head last Friday night, killing him
self instantly.
Mr.. Beasley had been in New York.
registered at the Hoffman House, for
some weeks, and returned to Trenton
early in the morning. Little was seen of
him about town, and it was understood
that be was at home, which he had made
with Mrs. Eberly, on West State street,
for some years. 1t was said that be was
Ill and required an attendant ut his bed
side constantly.
Friday evening, about 0 o'clock, the at
tendant left the room, which was on the
second floor, to go an errand, and an in
slant later he heard the report of ro-
volver Returning quickly, the attend
ant found Mr.. Beasley on his back, an
English bulldog revolver of 42.calibre in
his right hand, which rested on his breast
Blood was squirting from gaping wound
in tho right temple, the ball having pass
ed out at the right eye. Death was in
Simultaneous from rupture of the temporal
artery.
The only adult member of the Beasley
family in town was Lawyer Chauncey
Beasley, brother of the deceased, who was
notified. Chief Justice Beasley and Mrs.
Beasley were at Monmouth Beach.
Prosecutor Beasley was forty-three
years old, and was acknowledged to be
one OF the brightest criminal lawyers in
New Jersey. lie received bis education
in the State Schools, and soon after was
admitted to the Bar. When Carrot d.
W. Vroom resigned the Prosecutorship
of Mercer county, an Office that returns
handsome income, Gov. Mcclellan APP
pointed Mr.. Beasley to I'll tho vacancy.
He was reappointed for two successive
terms of five years each, the last OF which
will expire next Winter. Mr.. Beasleys
wife was daughter OF Gen. Robert Il.
Stockton. Four children were born to
the couple, but after the birth of the last,
about seven years ago, Mrs. Beasley died,
and her loss bore so heavily on her hus-
band that he took to excessive drinking.
His sad end is doubtless the result of this
unfortunate habit.

| Tho firemen's parade in Easton, on
wednesday, was success. The attend
ance was large.
---Purdy's Fountain Hotel at Doyles-
town, now that it has lately been remodel
ed, is much better calculated to accom-
modate its numerous guests than former
~. The dining room has been greatly
enlarged by the addition of new wing,
in the rear of which the meals are pre-
pared.
Henry Hough, a resident of Doyles-
town, died in the Episcopal Hospital,
Phila@alphia, on the 9th inst, where he
had gone for treatment He was resi-
dent OF Solebury for many years, filling
the office of Justice of the Peace and con-
Quoting the harness making business.
Lately he filled position in the Philadel.
phia Custom House, but was removed
when the Democratic administration as
sumed control of affairs.
Murder In Bucks County.
On Wednesday last George Neff, of
Hilltown township, Bucks county, Pa,
shot and MORALLY wounded John Con-
saert, hired man OF Jacob Diegel, farm
er of that township. Consaert, tho MUIR
dered man, came to Diegel's place in
April last and has been employed there
ever since as farm hand. Neff, who is
son-in-iaw of Diegel's took up his quar-
ters there month later, having removed
his family from Carbon county. Consaert
and Neff got along we'll together until
month ago when Philadelphian came IN
the neighborhood, and instilled the seeds of
discord by telling Neff that his wife and
Consaert were too friendly. Neff never
intimated to his wife that be doubted her
fidelity, and everything moved along Sc
renely until the day of the tragedy. On
Wednesday Consaert went to the house
to change his clothing and on entering
the kitchen door Neff opened fire on him
the first ball striking him in the forehead
and piercing the brain. Neff then reload.
cd his pistol and changed his clothes,
started as he said for Doylestown to give
himself up. Consaert led on Thursday,
but at last reports Neff had not been cap |
tured. A reward of $500 is offered for
his arrest.

LAMBERTvILLE, Sept. 81, 1877.
Games OF chance, no matter under
what head they may come-either tricks
by cards, thimbIe-rigging, roulette,
chances at church fairs, or prizes as in
ducements to trade where drawings are
made--are species of gambling and
ought to be discouraged by all Christian
people. A circus comes to our city and
a number OF citizens are the losers by
trying to beat men at their own game.
It is the same at our county fairs. Many
lose money by trying to make it easy.
They always get left. In one part of the
Beacon Of last week space is devoted TO
expose the swindlers of Wallace & Co. s
circus, and in another column space is
given to laud the lucky qualities Of one
who INDUCED in another species Of gam.
bling. 1t is poor doctrine, that, if you
take your chances on " three card
monte and lose it 10 wrong but il you
take chance on cake or organ, or set
of furniture, and because you are lucky
ard win 1T is right. Some people say,
+" Oh we don reconsider that gambling. =
That is all right; the very men who in
dulge in the higher grades Of gambling
don't consider il in that light either.
Some OF the Catholic Bishops are looking
at the matter in the right light and are
issuing letters to their parishioners, de.
nouncing church fur gambling and dis
couraging it in every way. There is
room for other ecclesiastical bodies to do
the same. Gambling is either wrong OF
right, and II wrong there is no half way
business about it, it is all wrong; il
right-what sensible, Christian or moral
man will admit that it is right? -

Fish warden.

Fish Warden.
Mr.. William Hoffman, OF this city, has
been kept very busy the present season
in travelling mp and down the Delaware,
trying to see that the laws governing
fishing we're not violated To do this
many hours sleep have been lost, as
much of the Illegal fishing is done. like
almost all other crimes, under the shadow
of darkness. Those who are able to
judge have spoken very favorably Of Mr..
Hoffman's ability and his faithfulness as
an officer 1t is very certain, If he should
be able to arrest any one who may be
violating the law, the guilty party may
expect to pay the full penalty. Fish
Wardens do not go about with lanterns
on their hats to give notice of their com.
ing, and are therefore liable to appear
when least expected.
